Manage episode 405981233 series 2494538
With Facebook’s withdrawal from Australian news-sharing agreements, this week on the Five Minute Advocate, Michael Walker takes this opportunity to remind us of the implicit dangers that come with a population riddled by smartphone dependency.

Michael reminds us to unplug and focus our energies on developing real-life connections and community engagement.
